Ukraine’s Bulava drone can now hunt in the dark—one camera handles day and night
Every new batch of the strike drone will ship with the upgrade, which also keeps it airborne longer and reaches farther than before.
Ukraine's Bulava strike drone can now operate around the clock, thanks to an upgraded camera that handles both day and night operations. The DeViRo company, which manufactures the drone, unveiled the enhanced version at a defense exhibition in Poland. The improvement includes a new camera with both a daytime and thermal-imaging channel, allowing operators to switch between modes while the drone is in the air.
This eliminates the need to swap out camera modules based on the time of day. The drone's flight time has also been extended to up to 110 minutes, and its range has been increased to between 120 and 130 kilometers. DeViRo claims their drone significantly contributed to a recent campaign targeting Russian logistics, helping to clear the way for deeper strikes against Russian supply routes in the south.
The company has also introduced the Sokyra interceptor, a prototype drone designed to shoot down Russian attack drones.
